Capítulo 1416: Chapter 58: Partings and Reunions Like Flying Pellets (Double-Length) (2)
According to Wang Anfeng’s knowledge, besides Sikou Tingfeng and himself, there was the long-absent Xue Qinshuang, and Xiahou Xuan, who had learned extensively but ultimately lost himself in the vastness. His splendor was like a colorful bloom, yet he lacked the ambition to take a further step, and there was no core martial arts in him to support the heaven and earth like a Kunlun Jade Pillar.
It was only now that he understood why Mr. taught him various martial arts without any scruples.
But the swordsmanship taught seriously was only one school.
The flow of ti in the world of the Shaolin Temple was slower than outside, from the age of thirteen to now, at least ten years.
Now, the foundation of this swordsmanship path had already borne fruit.
He smiled lightly, recalling the always aloof and arrogant person in a blue gown, murmuring to himself:
“Observe broadly and select carefully.”
“Build deeply and unleash slowly.”
“Many thanks to Mr. for this clear path to the heavens…”
……
Bi Tong’er saw Sikou Tingfeng stepping through the air from afar.
Throughout the Western Regions Jianghu, her reputation and power were many tis greater than the Second Rank Grandmaster Yelü Dashi, whose head was now clasped in the fingers of that woman, dead beyond dead.
Although she had long placed her bets on the First Estate, firmly believing that it would not be defeated today, seeing this scene, the woman who always loved to gamble and even traveled through the Jianghu of the Great Qin as soone from the Baiyue Royal Family was still lost in a trance repeatedly.
Dongfang Ningxin waited for her to recover, brushed her black hair by her temple, and said lightly:
“Aren’t you going to pay a visit?”
Bi Tong’er took a deep look at the First Estate, laughed carefreely, shook her head, and said, “Helping others should be about providing help in tis of need; that’s the mindset in Central Plains for tending to a cold stove. But retreating a step when flowers are in full bloom is where greater wisdom lies.”
“Backing off at this ti is actually more appropriate.”
Pausing for a mont, the girl with a pair of clear aquamarine eyes added with a sly smile:
“Besides, with the abilities of a Second Rank Grandmaster, phenona spread for thousands of miles; whether we pay our respects here or not is irrelevant.”
“Qunxing Pavilion relieved the First Estate of one worry, after all. It’s more worthy of approaching than those fickle people, rushing forward only to end up on the sa level, unnecessarily deaning themselves.”
“Moreover, we must hurry back to the Western Regions and Baiyue; along the way, we’ve got to uproot those spies Yelü Longtai set up, at the very least delaying his information by three to five days. Now, that last plan of his to counterattack Central Plains Jianghu has failed, so there’s bound to be a reshuffling.”
“With Yelü Dashi dead, the balance painstakingly fought out between several Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters has to be reestablished. Yelü Longtai’s martial arts are lacking, though his strategies are enough, he may not be able to eat up all of Yelü Dashi’s remaining assets cleanly. Many have been eyeing this big piece of fat, eagerly waiting.”
“Do you think he’s deliberately inciting unrest in the Western Regions Jianghu warriors, driving them all into Central Plains, to crush the last bit of courage that dared to resist in the Western Regions Jianghu, turning them all into warriors with broken spirits, making it easier to control them?”
“As for those people, they’re just pieces of an inconceivable move in a ga, throwing everything they’ve got into one last fight.”
“If opening the situation in Central Plains is possible, great; if not, it’s a grand gift to the First Estate of Central Plains that holds prestige, suggesting secret talks. But a strategist using their own brother, who reached Second Rank, as the biggest discarded piece is a bit too ruthless.”
Bi Tong’er spoke of Yelü Longtai being too cold-hearted, her smile unchanged, lazy stretching, eyes looking at the First Estate, murmuring contentedly:
“At least I bet right.”
“If Baiyue had known earlier, they’d have set their ga piece earlier. Seeing Sikou Tingfeng’s prestige today, I don’t much want to carelessly marry so grand sect master or noble offspring a few years down the line, be a wife and raise children. What’s the point in that?”
“She can suppress the Jianghu of Central Plains, though I can’t compare to her, suppressing three to five countries in the Western Regions shouldn’t be a problem. At that ti, let’s see high masters leading horses for and noble offspring carrying my palanquin.”
Pausing for a mont, she looked back at Dongfang Ningxin with a playful smile and said:
“I saw your little maid, aren’t you going to et her?”
Dongfang Ningxin had already turned around.
It seed the Western Regions noblewoman heard this woman, as cold and pure as ice jade, whisper softly.
“Never again in this life…”
Bi Tong’er pricked her ears but couldn’t catch the last few words, sighing regretfully.
Dongfang Ningxin glanced at her and said, “Let’s go.”
Unchanged in expression, her heart thought about growing up with Dongfang Ximing as a child. Her disposition was cold, but Dongfang Ximing had a sweet tooth. Every month on Penglai Island, things were sent from outside; there were rarely pastries, and once, after eating the pastries, Dongfang Ximing felt unsatisfied and for so reason wanted to learn to make pastries.
So she secretly entered Dongfang Clan’s Library, intending to take a book related to culinary arts, but unexpectedly, her father returned temporarily, leaving her to hurriedly grab one and give it to Dongfang Ximing. That day, she ate the entire plate of so-called pastries under Dongfang Ximing’s hopeful gaze.
After that, Dongfang Ximing often sent her various pastries.
At first, it was out of fear that if they were left, Dongfang Ximing would give them to others, and upon asking, reveal her sneaking into Dongfang Clan’s Library Tower and get her hands hit with a green bamboo rod by her father. Later, as she grew older, beca wiser, her status rose, even her father who usually couldn’t do much about her, bestowed her the title ‘Dongfang Ningxin’.
